2011 House Joint Resolution O

Require biannual budgeting

Introduced in the House

March 2, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Kurt Heise (R-20)

To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to require the legislature to adopt biannual budgeting. The same “executive order” budget cut procedure that exists under current law would apply if revenues were less than projected, and nothing would prohibit supplemental appropriations if revenues exceeded projections and lawmakers wanted to spend more.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
